Falcons release RB Michael Turner

Last season, the Atlanta Falcons finally won a playoff game. But despite that success, they seem to be getting ready to start over for the 2013 season. That process started yesterday with the release of RB Michael Turner.

Despite the shock that Atlanta fans might be feeling right now, the Falcons have said that this was pre-planned. Next season, Turner was scheduled to make $6.9 million against the cap, so this release saves the Falcons a lot of money. On his Facebook page, Turner thanked his fans and wrote this about the release:

"This is a tough business but I understand it's nature and resp...ect the process."

Being released along with Turner was DE John Abraham and CB Dunta Robinson.

About Me

I can be reached via email at acmepackingcompany@gmail.com. I was born and raised in Wisconsin and I've been a fan of the Green Bay Packers since 1980. I moved away from Wisconsin many years ago, which led me to start this blog in 2003. It won't be updated with any breaking news stories, or any NFL exclusives. If you're interested in what I've got to say about some Packers news, this is where I say it.
